Bought my first Travel Trailer (Avenger 2016)

[sparkylola]

I bought a new/used travel trailer Avenger 2016, taking it out this coming weekend to Ponderosa, I joined happy trails so I got places to visit when I retire, bought everything needed. I want to put pictures up but not sure about putting holes into walls, would that cause moled in time? any suggestions, I was also thinking liquid nail to secure my mirror. Thank guys.

Ooh, I might have just acquired a new expensive hobby 😃

I like to collect experiences more than things but having a painting to remind me of a place I've traveled is a nice combination of the two.

Yes, it is. And it’s a bonus if you get to talk to the artist.
Since the art is meant for the camper, it can be smaller pieces, so the cost is less. At least most of the time (!).

Welcome to the forum. We have an 2014 Avenger 27RLS Touring Edition. I have hung a number of pictures on my walls using Command hooks along with Command picture strips placed along the bottom of the frames to keep the pictures from swinging and bouncing off the hooks. After almost 4 years I've never lost, or had to rehang any of them.
We have a 1x3, 3-D art plaque above the bed just to fill the big empty wall. Two command hooks on top, two command strips on bottom.

The decorative wooden plaque ("Camper Sweet Camper") in my RV is held on the wall with velcro, I believe. It stays in position very securely.

Congrats on the beginning of your spending on all things RV!
The trailer itself is a great starting point.
Enjoy!!!!!

Some folks have had good luck with 3m command strips. I have a few of them inside closet but the only things hanging from them is fly-swatter and feather duster, so I have no idea if they hold heavier items as well.

One of the fulltime couples I follow uses command strips to hold up their winter coats, plenty strong according to them 😃

Let's see RVing since 1978 and haven't bought all I need to date! Gee I miss my 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 and 8 1/2 foot Beaver camper!

Congrats and welcome to the life!
Another vote for Command Strips too. I have attached picture frames to the walls with them.
When I traded our last TT in, I pulled all the stuff off the walls for reuse in our new trailer. It was great to do so without leaving a single mark or hole.
